The Mansion: Part Four

Yes, it’s seriously here and I couldn’t be happier.

 This installment gave me several headaches and plenty of technical difficulties.  But I won’t fuss about that now.  I am glad to have it done and to be able to continue presenting this story to you guys in movie form.

 I got the chance to try some new camera tricks here,  (ie., flying pencils combined with greenscreen) and I’m pretty happy with the way they turned out.  They actually were a little easier to do than some of the other shots that I initially thought would be simple. 

So after all the delays, glitches and tornadoes,  I’m glad to have this one done and I think that the rest of the series, Parts Five – Eight will be much easier to complete.  Of course that doesn’t mean faster!  But we’ll have to see. lol 

Classes will be starting in a little over a week, so I’ll see what I can do.  I’m hoping to keep up with a filming schedule that will allow me to put out one ep each month, but once again, no promises yet!

 Thanks for the patience you guys and for all the constructive criticism and reviews.  I’m thinking that this one will give you a few things to critique, seeing as how I tried so many new things, including Decorgal’s new Custom Modeling Poses Overlay Hack I’m still learning, but this one wasn’t too hard to utilize.  But  I do think working with her other talk hacks first made it easier for me.

I made an effort at the end to give the mod creators I often use a special thanks.  I think I left out Numenor, so a special thanks needs to go out there as well.  I think these people do some great work that I personally can’t figure out how to do!  lol  And they deserve to be acknowledged more often.

I also should take this time out to thank the cast for sending in all of their lines and doing retake after retake.  Especially Ianplayssims whom was willing to do about 3 takes of every line to put across the emotions that I desired.  I was very happy to have some of the original cast return in this installment, including Ianplayssims (Ulan) and Brosys_30 (Ward).  Sims2aholic (the original voice of Sami) will also be making a comeback as another character in a couple of episodes, so keep an ear out for her as well.  ;)

But all of them are awesome for agreeing to continue to work with me on this project and sending in their lines for the whole series quickly and being patient with my picky demands. lol  I would recommend them to anyone looking for quality actors. :)

Anyway, that’s all for now you guys.  Keep an eye out for Part Five and I hope you enjoyed Part Four!

P.S.  I have to thank Deb (Maidenfine) once again for allowing me to turn this cool series into a movie!  I think her baby may be due any day now, so this one will have to be a present from me to her! lol  Congrats, Deb!
